>historical facts and their interpretations determine economic logic

"A social system based on this natural position regarding the
assignment of property rights is, and will from now on be called
pure capitalist. And since its ideas can also be discerned as the
dominating ideas of private law, i.e., of the norms regulating relations between private persons, it might also be termed a pure
private law system. This system is based on the idea that to be
nonaggressive, claims to property must be backed by the “objective” fact of an act of original appropriation, of previous ownership,
or by a mutually beneficial contractual relationship. This relationship can either be a deliberate cooperation between property owners or the deliberate transfer of property titles from one owner to
another. If this system is altered and instead a policy is instituted
that assigns rights of exclusive control over scarce means, however
partial, to persons or groups of persons that can point neither to
an act of previous usership of the things concerned, nor to a contractual relation with some previous user-owner, then this will be
called (partial) socialism. "

For pretty basic introductions, I've heard good things about Kallistos Ware's books, like The Orthodox Church and The Orthodox Way. I've read Ladder of Divine Ascent by Climacus, and that is a very good introduction to monasticism and a lot of Orthodox spirituality. Sayings of the Desert Fathers is quite good, and you can find a lot of Seraphim Rose's writings online, and those are also good.

As others have said, it would be a contradiction. The simple version is that the economy, as a form of power in itself, is relatively insignificant. From the perspective of the state the economy should form naturally as a mode of being, as Epictetus stated: "Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants." This stands not only in opposition to the type of material wealth but that of mendicity and welfare. In the transitional state there is no difference between the beggar and the king - the law of Odysseus. Otherwise, the relation of the Roman and his triumphal arches, the spoils of war are contained in the coffers dedicated to the victorious and those who were lost to the war.

In the same way, a sacrifice of domestic wealth equal to the plunder can be seen in the arches of triumph, the relief adorned with the gold its heroes had taken. In contrast, the modern form of dedication to sacrifice is stripped bare, stone deprived of its wealth - as if rearming against its own historical events. Our monuments appear as bunkers and trenches against metaphysical laws, 'places unworthy even of death'. There is no wealth to be given to the dead, and the domestic territory has nothing left to sacrifice.

At the extreme, and this is my own view, the reduction of life to economic analysis suggests the death of economy, of wealth. One cannot dissect that which is still living, although we have come to the point where the scientific mind is certain it must resolve this contradiction. The practise of medicine needs cadavers to advance the knowledge of the body, and the cameralist needs shortages in order to distribute forms of wealth that persist beyond death. If modernity is to be conceived as a single form, a unified type of civilisation, then it must have an overriding law. From a technological perspective, what the technician perceives, there will always be shortages, a state of self-attrition. The economy is thus a kantian device, a setting and determination of limits to guarantee ideal logistics for the technological form to dig itself further into the earth. Its single law, and essentially it is wealth that is the economic state of exception in the modern era - a problem which forces the secular ennui of the inescapable.

A sense of wealth can never be complete for a people without any sense of being. It is often said that capitalism or communism causes degeneracy, but this is backwards thinking. It is the placelessness and very lack of dominion which completes itself, formed of the beginning. Diverse races and transitional laws develop only because they were the formative law, and no economic thinking can ever resolve this issue. The social and economic contracts must include all of humanity or reserve sections of the planet as a state of nature. The land is appropriated into misanthropy, and this only strengthens the facelessness, but also its humanity.

In scientific terms this is the process of schismogenesis, or ossification. Facing death, the social body must either produce new material or harden what already exists. Yet, it is at this point of self-awareness that some form of death already occurs. The vitality of the political form is lost, life no longer struggles with life, only itself. Schopenhauer's cripple riding the giant in a war with the leviathan.

Returning to Schmitt's position, the economy can be understood in its relation to romanticism, as the form of being in political opposition. It is at this point, in 1848, that the new bourgeoisie can no longer stand as a revolutionary agent, as a total opposition to the ancien regime - and so the new political body begins to set its own limits. What was the defeat of the old regime is now the encounter of political theology within economic constraints, and what is commonly understood as class struggle is really only a reconciliation of being, as a single type of man beyond the appearance of economic, political, industrial, or even theological character. What stands above this formation is the modern constitution itself, the metaphysical fluids which give rise to the character. 1789 is the Katechon for the bourgeoisie, and it was here that the new conservatives set themselves against the workers.

This history places us in a difficult position, because at once it was the monarchists - albeit in a decrepit state - who established the very political formations that liberalism would later take over as military installations. A type of domestic positioning in the aftermath of devastating wars of theological attrition. This is the contradiction that liberalism found itself in, the class struggle was essentially a return of the repressed of their own intervention against the cameralism of the monarchies. There is a great irony here as well, in the libertarian return to economic utopianism formed of monarchistic power - absolute economy as a Western reaction to marxism, but even less formalist. Cameralist jesters can only understand tragicomic tyranny. 1916 continues until it reaches its cosmic event, predetermined by material rationalisations.

In this fantasizing we see how economic rationalism is really only the final form of scientific simulacra - an occasionalism of the bourgeoisie who must see all complexity as a compliment to its simple laws. If the revolutionary spirit is good in itself then it need only be situated within the modern sense of being. What communists could never figure out was this relation to being that was perfected in the romantic aesthetics, and paradoxically only realised this once the slave state of Russia reimagined itself through industrial production of the modern type. An entire state dedicated to the aesthetic form of the machine and the elimination of the past.

It is here that we can situate Austrian economics. It is essentially an attempt to return to the romanticism of economics after its defeat, hence its qualities of pure rationalism. Its function is the same, an elimination of the political sphere, and yet somehow it fails to recognise that this was the modern project all along. What Schmitt attempted was a continuation of politics within the modern means of being, after its death, and this contradicts the purely economic position which can only understand politics as a negation. Strangely, it is the economic position that keeps the dead politic alive: it comes to struggle only with death because it has descended into dead territory, and so cannot imagine anything else.

As form the economy eliminates its own sense of itself as shapes and figures, it is an accumulation through destruction - the exchange of only that which can never be exchanged. The communist understands being as the human finding freedom as he is crushed into mathematical shapes by the industrial process. The liberal views this as a necessary distancing effect, as merely the means of its guarantee of its security and liberty for all beings - thus its insistence on economic determination while never questioing the industrial process through which it is mobilised. The world is itself a type to be leveled, and so too the fulcrum that leverages its weights for measure.

It is in this that we see the unifying power of work, even in its tortuous forms. Man eliminates all quality from himself that is not equivalent to the leveling of earth processes. He is his own force measurement, and what resides in the territory of Satanic mills is his defeat of Kantian limits. The entire world is pounded flat beneath the greatest drop forge, welding together what the mills of heaven had taken so long to destroy.

The bourgeois position of economy eliminates this perspective and seeks a return to the political romanticism of dead aesthetics. An impossibility. Thus we see the return of technology as a monstrous form defeating all economic reason and material. The economists appear incapable of reconciling with this shift, turning towards a deep pessimism and irrationality in a desperate attempt to salvage their relation to being.

All that remains is dead labour, but as its metaphysical type: brutalism erased the sacrifices of worker attrition from the face of the earth, and then the bourgeoisie reappeared in its coffers as the war became total. The eyes of the economic mind appear unpainted, as in the minor figures hidden in monuments of ruin.

If you actually read Hayek you'll realise he is actually already basically a schmittian, or at least heavily indebted to him.

Renato Cristi (F. R. Cristi) has written about this, there's an article on JSTOR.

The point of Hayekian market theory is that the human subjects have to be submissive and accepting of the logic of the price-system, because the market aggregates dispersed knowledge in a manner no other symbolic system can. Humans have to give up their ideas of rationality and accept that the market knows best.

Reading any Hayek (or Von Mises, or Buchanan, Stigler, Friedman if you read between the lines) you'll see it all operates according to a Schmittian logic.

Of course, if you ever actually read anything, you wouldn't be interested in Austrian economics.
